Regional History
For 112 years, The Tara Hotel has hugged the stunning countryside town of Tara. As a bustling town grew up around us over the decades, locals made this place the heart of their neighbourhood. The Tara Hotel has been a steadfast companion to generations, offering a space where memories are made, stories are shared, and history lives on.
We have a rich history in this town, intertwined with the growth and spirit of Tara itself. Throughout the years, the walls have seen countless celebrations, farewells, and reunions, each one adding to the vibrant story of this community. From farmers and families to travellers and tourists, the pub has welcomed them all, and each has left their mark on the history of The Tara.
But it’s not just the memories that tell our story. We’re also proud to showcase a variety of rare local artwork, reflecting the beauty and creativity of the region. These pieces highlight the talent and heritage of Tara and surrounds, offering visitors a glimpse into the region’s artistic legacy.
